It doesn't make it legal for you to drive it down the road without a CDL. In Wisconsin at the age of 12 you can take a tractor safety course that allows you to drive an "impliment of husbandry" on or off the road. That means you can drive a tractor, atv, truck, etc. for farm purposes. It isn't legal for anybody to just jump on the tractor and take it in to town to get groceries. The important part is that it is for farm purposes. That 12 yr old with a tractor safety certificate is technically legal to drive a semi tractor pulling a grain trailer from a field to the farm also. They are not legal to pull that same load to the mill to dump the grain though. That trip requires a CDL. I'm not sure what exactly the verbage of the law is that states that. I would just make sure you fully understand the laws for your area before you buy a dump truck. I'm sure you could make a few trips without a problem, but with how many you are talking about eventually you are going to draw somebody's attention and you aren't going to be able to play stupid.
Speaking of the truck that is being turned back to earth due to time, did you figure out a way to get someone to get to run right for ya? So you don't have to fight with it...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Truth: they tuned the thing and wiped the grease off the screw heads. Loss of trust is hard to regain.I don't care if it takes ten years I'll find the right person or sit on it. If we can verify Tex or someone else is having panic attacks over this, I'll try and move a bit quicker
Bear, this is the state I remind you that allows trailers to be on the road without working tail lights legally......Right, wrong or otherwise this is the tuck & why the states that boarder it refer to those flapping unsecured blue trailer tarps as Ky flags!

So yea, that blue tarp may come loose from the trailer in front of me, wrap around my windshield and cause me to drive over a thousand foot cliff. But given that, I prefer that freedom over some kid in a uniform who doesn't like me because of the 101st decal in my rear window pulling me over to stress test the zip ties on my shoelaces to see if they meet government specification.We say it often. stay where you are if you like what you see. We chose too!

Ken & I became independent contractors some time ago......

Just got back from looking over a "Big Tex" 14,000 lb, 14 foot dump trailer.I must say, those are impressive.Quoted me $7,000 + taxI wanted a solar charger, spare tire, ramps, and a pintle/lunette ring
Don, I believe control is a fleeting illusion.......Also, you may already know this, but if you are having material delivered its cheaper to bring in bigger trucks. The belly dumps carry 26 tons a trip and can at least lay a long strip of material along the road as they dump

We thought we could get away without it.... wrong. Just added it, worth every penny.

We thought we could get away without it.... wrong. Just added it, worth every penny.Dawg,You and your dad have a Big Tex, right?OK, well looking at some other brands I see some deficiencies with the BT trailer.The BT 14K dumper only has two internal tie rings and they are in the back...???Looking underneath the bed reinforcing seems all wrong. I mean the dump part main rails do not line up with the lower frame. The reinforcing longitudinal channels do not rest on the lower frame at all!!! What the heck is that about???They use 10 gage, and I guess that is adequate, but barely. Kaufman trailers, for instance uses 3/16", like almost 30% thicker in the floor.The sides of the BT trailer are nor reinforced in the middle with a longitudinal rib. Just sheet steel bottom to top. Others weld in a 3"-4" wide box channel half way up, vastly strengthening the sides.I may be missing the point, but I am not seeing the best quality in the BT trailers by far.Am I wrong or just expecting too much?
Don, also remember that the heavier the trailer the less payload you have. You can make a very heavily reinforced trailer but if its overkill then it takes away from your payload.Food for thought
Dang my choices are much less complicated....can I afford it, or can't I...Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
Do you mean dual acting (power up and down) or a pair of cylinders?I think a scissors lift is better than a pair of cylinders. With the correct ram a single will be able to lift just as much as two. On the dual cylinder designs the cylinders are giving it structure when raised. The scissor lift gives it structure while raised making it stronger on uneven ground etc.. On a scissor style the ram is only lifting the load.
I think he should just build his own.....:popcorn Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You mean this one?
I have a feeling we're going to have to fire Don again. :)
